Technology for Modelling Electrical Analogies, Engineering Practice, and the Development of Analogue Computing /
Historians have different views on the core identity of analogue computing. Some portray the technology solely as a precursor to digital computing, whereas others stress that analogue applications existed well after 1940. Even within contemporary sources, there is a spectrum of understanding around...
